Guess the idea is Brady to be back with us still in a playoff position. Certainly not as strong as with Brady but I hope Worrall gives this chance his best shot to impress teams.

Just being realistic. Kings Lynn will never get a better opportunity. KK coming back, Klindt clearly injured and shouldn't be riding and our big scoring trump card out to be replaced by a championship rider! Hardly arse covering.

Shocking replacement. Replacing our heat leader with a championship rider? Matt seems to have given up on this season.

Well we are truly injury ravaged at the moment so the opposition will certainly fill their boots. Klindt is not fit suprised he is back to be honest. Perhaps there's just no one out there to replace him at the moment. Losing our top scorer in Brady is a disaster. Normally we would see off Kings Lynn without too much fuss but the way the season has gone with injuries we are there for the taking at the moment. With the returning KK, the walking wounded Klindt and r/r for our big hitter, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to deduct we are in crap creek without a paddle.

Don't see it that way at all. You say "a load of morons" but these are speedway fans fed up with his attitude towards his own country, whether it be not riding in our leagues, not riding in ourchampionship or not riding in the swc. So what well deserved point is he making? TeamGB would have done better with him riding? True. But he has turned his back on his country. He deserves any crap thrown at him for disrespecting British speedway and its fans.

And to think a couple of seasons ago I was cheering him on in the GP series. He will get a big cheer in Cardiff but I think there will be quite a few boos in the crowd as well.

Typical Woffinden tweet. At least plenty on twitter are telling him he is out of order.

Ok my thoughts on BT and the studio. I think the BT coverage is pretty good, but the studio part is very mundane. Natalie is fine, but Scott Nicholls is too afraid to speak his mind or say anything slightly controversial in fear of upsetting one of his mates, or rocking the boat with the authorities. There is controvesy and nothing is said. Stuff is brushed away when it should be debated. Personally, there needs to be another face in the studio either alongside Nicholls or to even replace him. A third person might inject wider debate and bring up incidents, talking openly, if they are not tied to the sport like Nicholls is. How about a fan going on, or an ex rider who says things as it is? Personally I like Pearson and Tatum. They are very enthusiastic and it shows, similar to the Polish commentators in the extraleague, who also ger very shouty. Rather have commentary like that than the sec comentary team, who still do a decent job if a more matter of fact style.

Would be interesting to see what the scores would have been if Poland had been on the GB boys bikes. Not so dominant is my opinion.

We should look at it objectively. We got further than the Aussies, Latvia and Denmark. We ran the Russians close for bronze and really should have got third. Cook and Lambert croaked completely.

As a meeting pretty decent. Poland had it easy on home soil, and result was never in doubt. The second event and playoff were much better meetings than tonight. Whilst the money is in Poland, their riders will be on bikes tuned to go so fast no one can really compete.

Cook has ridden like the whole event has got to him. Stiff on a bike and riding like he isn't interested, although that is not the case. Really he should have beaten Kudriashov but not even close.

Would have given Ellis a taste of the meeting in place of Lambert. Can't do any worse.

And Chugunov has? 17 years old and beating Harris and others with ease.

Full marks to Worral. Lambert and Cook please take note.

Lambert should be thriving tonight like Chugunov. Yet he has gone completely awol and replaced by Worral. Very poor. Cook also has been off the pace.

Oh dear points thrown away with a stupid through the tapes.

Come on GB lets give it our best shot with no regrets. Biggest effort from everyone. Win or lose lets not throw away any sell points and proudly where the Union Jock.

Very enjoyable meeting with justice served up nicely. A 17 year old Russian comes charging onto the scene like a breath of fresh air. I bet several Polish promoters are talking to him right now about a berth in their team. Well done Chuganov. Why can't we produce a rider like that? Even skint GB have more money than the Ruskies! Hopefully a medal tomorrow for the lads but it will be very tough. Looking forward to the final very much. Lets hope its not an exhibition of gate and win from the Poles. That would be an anti climax.

Justice!

Cheating Aussies.

Some good racing tonight. Aussies finding it tough but Russia and Latvia taking points off each other to keep the Aussies in it.

Have they forgotten to open the gates? Where are the fans? Terrible support from Polish fans. Last year the playoff had a big crowd in Manchester with the ticket deal. Wasn't it repeated? Shame on Poland for a terrible crowd.

Depends what Matt is prepared to pay. Wozniak would be great and Woryna a good call as well. Certainly not Walasek please!
